First Covenant Church
Belief is Lived
There are a few key verses in the book of Romans that have been used to communicate the good news of God’s kingdom for years. It is worth the time to hear them, understand them, and learn to communicate the message well. It turns out that good news travels.

Life Group Questions
Last week we looked at three New Testament images of the atonement: Sacrifice/Holiness/Cleansing, Change in Loyalty, and Redemption/Legal.
Let’s look at two more images this week.
1) Liberation/Freedom. Read John 8:31-38. What is the relationship between the teaching of Jesus and the truth?
2) In what way does the truth provide freedom?
3) In this passage, those who challenge Jesus miss his point, they are deceived into believing they are living freely when they are not. In what ways can someone be deceived by believing they are free when they are actually slaves to sin?
4) As a refreshing reminder of our liberation in Jesus, read Romans 6:6-7. Just enjoy the passage. Thank God for freedom in Christ!
5) Victory. Take a look at 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 & Hebrews 2:14-15. Over what powers is Jesus victorious?
6) What effect does Jesus’ victory have in this life?
7) Read 1 Corinthians 15:51-56. What promises are still to be fulfilled by Jesus’ victory in the life to come?
8) How can you thank God this week for the freedom and victory you have in Christ?
